Peer Review - Hello! I think your Wikipedia page for Barbara Crawford Johnson is structured well, but something to help add more information would be to talk about the specific projects she worked on. I can see that there's a list of the projects and would love to know more about her specific role (if possible) or at the very least, a description of what the project was. Each section is very sparse, and I'd like to know more about her education and background besides the one fact that she was the first black woman to receive a general engineering degree from University of Illinois. Some questions you can maybe tackle: Where was she born? Where did she grow up? Were there any other notable academic experiences while she was in college? How did she get into engineering? This is a great start, and I can't wait to see this when you're done! Liangdanica (talk) 01:31, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Peer Response Hi! Thank you for your feedback, it's very useful! I definitely want to add in those basic bio elements and as much as I can find about her background through research. Expanding on the context of each project and what her position was is also great, I'll try to find as much information as I can! I agree that at the moment it's incredibly sparse. Thanks again for the critique!

Wikipedia Rubric Status The wikipedia page for Barbara Crawford Johnson has no lead section. It jumps straight into her education, then her projects (in bullet points) and then awards she has won. Something I would like to add to the page is a lead section with an introductory sentence and a short summary. The article is organized and has a neutral tone, the main issue is the lack of information. There is also a lack of an image of Barbara. I like that the projects are in bullet points because they are easy to read and are organized, but if I can find enough information I might like to expand on the points to make them a paragraph. There are only 4 references on the article. There is not much information, but I believe I could also expand the reference/citation section. Overall, the organization of the article is great, I will spend most of my efforts on expanding existing points, and creating a new lead section.

Peer Review: Hi! I completely agree with the comments you made about Barbara Crawford Johnson's Wikipedia page. I think adding a strong lead section and a picture will start the article off really well. I know there might be a lack of information but if you can, you might even want to add sections that discuss her early or personal life. The bullet points do make it easier to read but i agree that you should consider adding more information about her projects and awards. Zbaraceros (talk) 03:01, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Peer Response Hi! I definitely want to add a photo of Barbara, my challenge at the moment is just finding one that isn't copyrighted! But I agree it would be very helpful for the article. Her early/personal life is what the other peer review was mentioning, to get to know more about her than the basic outline. It's definitely still a work in progress, with more deep research needed. Thanks for the input about the projects, I also agree that the bullet points are easier to read, but just because the article is already so sparse I'm going to try to turn those more into paragraphs. Thanks again for all your input!

Article Evaluation
The article I'm evaluating is titled "Gender Role". Everything written in the article was relevant to the topic, and the author writes about gender as a social construct through multiple different facets such as religion, culture, and politics. It was very clean and organized, easy to read, and very informational. I regularly checked the facts while reading and all statements seemed to line up with the research. The information was up to date, and had a solid blend between historical and contemporary components of gender roles and gender theory. I believe the author did a great job at keeping the article impartial and respectful, specifically in the area of religion. The author could have easily painted religion in a bad light, but made a point to give equal attention to the progress made in the world of Christianity and Islam, for exampleTaylorkeefer (talk) 06:23, 27 September 2018 (UTC). This gave the piece an overall tone of being simply educational and informative, rather than one-sided in its research. There was one sentence that was cited in the "East and West cultures" section, however, that only referenced "Hofstede's 1980 findings". This was not clear enough on what particular piece of research or study was being referenced. Other than that, the citations mostly look good, and all the links are usable. These citations are mostly neutral, such as the department of labor, the American Psychological Association, the National Academy of Sciences, the American Journal of Political Science, or even the New York Times. There were times when Betty Friedan was referenced, as she wrote The Feminine Mystique as an American feminist and activist. On the Talk page I see this article used to be a former featured article. The article is no longer featured for reasons such as redundancy, structure, and failed to address the concept of gender roles through a point of view different than an academic. In addition, not every statement was cited that some wanted to see citations for. However, for when it first became a featured article, many were praising it for how well written the article is. It is used in multiple WikiProjects such as gender studies, men's issues, feminism, sociology, LGBT studies, and more. I don't think the way the topic was addressed is much different than how we have begun to address it in class. Gender is immediately seen as a social construct, something we "do" and learn as young children, and something we see in media or the environment/culture around us.

Peer Review
Thus far, this article seems very short and like it could use some love. Are you creating it from scratch or expanding on it. Its lead is short. What I am noticing is that it's already divided into organized sections (education, biography, projects, etc.). I know we're in the beginning phases of editing, but keep it up and try to fill out all of these sections! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlopez4758 (talk • contribs) 01:09, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Peer Response Yes I agree. I've added some details of what I found through references not already used in the original article, but there's unfortunately very little on Barbara. Some deeper research is needed to try to scrape together more information about her. Thank you for the input! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taylorkeefer (talk • contribs) 22:31, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
